John Sherman, in his recent speech, in
referring to the Southern election frauds
said -
lone duty think the republican party
has not yet performed, and that 10 that in
States where It IL ascertained that free and
orderly elections for senators and representa-
tives in Congress cannot be had, Congress
should assert and exercise its unQuestioned
power to regulate the times. places, and man.
ner Of holding such elections. This power is
40 clearly conferred upon Congress ~ the
power to levy taxes or make war, and, in my
Judgment, the time has arrived when it
should be fully and vigorously exercised.
This power has been asserted by the act of
1866 providing for the election of senators,
and no complaint has ever been made Of its
consttutionality or expedieucy. 1t has not
been exercised IS to members of the House
of Representatives, from the strong desire to
avoid any interference with popular elections
in the States; but the existence of the power
has been affirmed by the Supreme Court of
the United States in the case er parte Var
bough and others, decided at the October
term, 1888. in which the court said:
"That government whose essential char.
ac,er is republican, whose executive head and
legislative body are both elective, whose most
ture is elected by the people directly, has no
power by appropriate laws to secure this
election from the influence Of violence and
corruption, and of fraud, is proposition so
startling as to arrest attention and command
gravest consideration. If this government is
anything more than q mere aggregation of
delegated agents Of other States and govern
ments, it must have the power to protect the
elections on which its existence depends from
violence or corruption"
In the later days of the Roman republic the
controlling elements in elections we're brib'
cry, force and corruption, and this was the
cause of its fall. So in ours, if elections are
controlled BY the meanest frauds and crimes
instead of the popular will, it will be the end
of free government. The mission of the re-
publican party will never end until every
legal voter can cast one honest vote, and NO
more, and have that vote counted.

The first move of the Rhode Island
democrats is a bold one. Contrary te
precedent and to the constitution itself
they propose to call constitutional con

right of suffrage in that State by taking
away certain restrictions. Their plan is tc
submit the proposition to vote of those
citizens who are now DISTINGUISHED as well
Is to those who possess the right Of
suffrage The Providence Journal which
by the way has been very instrumental in
securing the legislature to the democrats,
does not take kindly to this proposition
which its foster children have made ant
says:
